The researcher measured understanding of science by asking 4th grade children to complete a standardized science test. The researcher first measured the children’s understanding of science on a pretest.  Immediately after the pretest, they introduced the two teaching interventions to the children. Half of the children were given a “new” teaching intervention first and an “old” teaching intervention second; the other half was given the “old” teaching intervention first and the “new” teaching intervention second. The researcher administered the same science test again (as a posttest) after each teaching intervention to see if performance was better than the pretest.  All children took the pretest, were given both teaching interventions (half given “new” teaching first and half given “old” teaching first), and took the posttest after each teaching intervention.
